Coffee drinkers praise 'amazing' £23 Aldi item 'ideal for hotels'

Daily Mirror6 hours ago

Aldi has impressed coffee drinkers with a £22.99 item that enables you to "make exceptional espresso wherever you are." The supermarket is stocking an Adventuridge Portable Coffee Maker that's said to be "perfect for travel, camping, or on-the-go use."
The travel item is one of the retailer's SpecialBuy items, meaning it is only available while stock lasts. Based on social media reactions, the portable coffee maker could prove popular. The item received lots of attention when it was showcased in a Facebook post shared by Aldi UK.
The caption said: "No coffee shop, no problem. This is the perfect solution for those caffeine hits NEEDED after a sleepless night in a tent. Pick yours up in store now - perfect for everything from camping trips to office days."
While some commenters had mixed views about the item, lots of viewers praised the idea. Someone replied: "These are amazing. Ideal for hotels too when you only get instant coffee and a kettle. I use one with a little pot of espresso on my travels."
A coffee fan said: "I've got one of the Nanopresso (same design) and if you know how to use it, they make excellent coffees (from Espressos, Americanos and every other coffee type)." Another viewer wrote: "Be good for some footy."
Another response read: "I'll need this when we go camping." Someone else told their colleague: "We should get this for work." Meanwhile, another excited shopper said: "Bother, now I have to go to Aldi and I just got comfy."
However, not everyone was blown away, with one social media user saying: "Just have a simple flask!!!!" Someone else wrote: "What's wrong with a kettle, a small stove, a cafetiere and a mug when camping?
"Similar to being in an office and you get much more bang for your buck." A commenter added: "My travel mug keeps my coffee hot for hours. I don't need one of these."
For those who are interested in the portable coffee maker, a full product description is available on Aldi's website. It states: "Enjoy your favourite espresso without the need for batteries or cords with our easy-to-use manual espresso maker. It's perfect for travel, camping, or on-the-go use - giving you the freedom to make exceptional espresso wherever you are."
The description says that the "lightweight" coffee maker "works with any type of ground coffee, so you can customise your espresso to your liking" and that it "does not require compressed air or electricity."
It's also said that its "compact size makes it a great travel companion, fitting easily into your bag or backpack." The coffee maker has a 1.5L capacity, and it comes with a one-year warranty. Product images are available to view on the website.

We also reveal the dates that school uniforms will go on sale BARGAIN HUNTER Cheapest supermarket for school uniforms revealed and prices are LOWER than buying second-hand on Vinted THE cheapest supermarket to get a school uniform has been revealed - and you could pay less than buying second-hand on Vinted. Aldi and Lidl have come out on top this year as the supermarkets with the lowest prices for uniforms, according to analysis by The Sun, with prices at both stores frozen since 2022. 2 Aldi is one of the cheapest supermarkets to buy a school uniform Credit: Alamy 2 Lidl is also offering some of the cheapest uniforms, bringing back its £5 bundles this year Credit: Alamy The budget retailers are bringing back their school uniform "bundles" for ages 4-12, so parents can get two polo shirts, a sweatshirt, and trousers, a skirt or shorts from just £5. Many individual uniform items at both Aldi and Lidl start from less than £2, with trousers and skirts priced from £1.75, sweatshirts from £1.50, and a two-pack of polo shirts from £2.49.

Aldi launch new own-brand chicken wine in a box but be quick

The new Le Petit Poulet Rosé joins the range for £12.49, and it's available in stores from June 22. Building on last year's huge sales Aldi introduced Le Petit Poulet Rosé the supermarket has a 1.5L boxed version, offering double the wine. The Le Petit Poulet Rosé Boxed Wine has a larger, picnic-perfect format - but shoppers will have to be quick, because as with all Specialbuys, once they're gone, they're gone. What is chicken wine? Last summer, the 'chicken wine' was popular on TikTok and Instagram. It's named after the chicken on its label. Delicately pale and bursting with citrus and red berry notes, Le Petit Poulet Rosé comes from sun-drenched vineyards of Provence at a price that's 19% cheaper than market leader La Vielle Ferme. Crisp, refreshing blush is ideal for creating the perfect aperitif moment whilst soaking up the sun. Is boxed wine as good as a bottle? Sam Caporn, Mistress of Wine, says yes, and the cardboard box shouldn't put drinkers off: 'Historically, lower quality wines were packaged in boxed format, with the perception being that customers wanted higher volume at a low price - but that's no longer the case. 'Boxed wines have many advantages. For example, boxed wine can stay fresh for considerably longer than bottled. 'There is usually a price advantage too, as you're not paying for heavy or expensive glass. And lastly, boxed wine tastes no different to bottled.' Recommended reading: The new Le Petit Poulet Rosé boxed wine joins Aldi's boxed wine line-up, including red, white and rosé: Cambalala Sauvignon Blanc (£13.99, 2.25L) Costellore Italian Blush (£13.99, 2.25L) Kooliburra Shiraz (£13.99, 2.25L) Costellore Trebbiano Pinot Grigio (£13.99, 2.25L) Aldi's Le Petit Poulet Rosé boxed wine (£12.49, 1.5L) is available in stores nationwide from June 22, while stocks last.
